My Black Friday purchase arrived today, so instead of chucking them in the later box. I decided to build all of them this week. Good thing I only bought 4 kits....so starting off with the Drive In Entrance.
This is what it is supposed to look like >>
But you know I have a very hard time keeping anything original, so....
I trimmed off the nubs for the big and long sign, reused just the Drive In section and glued that to roof. Reinforced that with some spare MDF strips on the base and behind the letters cause you know those will break asap. Added 2 supports as well. I snapped the part above the front door cause I was talking to the girls and not paying attention (so that is all on me) but that too was easily fixed with some spare strip of MDF. Then I snipped off the 4 nubs it had for the original sign, and added rim all around the edge (even if only to mitigate warping once painted) and now it is sorted.
Tomorrow I'll try and work out if it is worth the effort to use some soldering wire to weave around to make it more of a Neon sign.....but we will see if that will be worth the effort.

Otherwise, nice kit. No fitting issues that I noticed, will look grand once painted up.
